Many layers on a project are not really my strong suit, so it was quite a challenge for me to create this card. I really like the current MFT sketch and once I had the idea to create an underwater scene all somehow fell into place ;o) I started by stamping and colouring many, many sea-critters and creating a background paper with Distress Inks using Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean & Peacock Feathers.

I designed the front of the card following the sketch using pink patterned paper as my background paper. I chose pink because it gives a lot of contrast next to the blue of the inside of the card. Using the "Wonky Windows" die I die cut an opening in the card base and the designer paper and also die cut it from some white paper, so I could make a frame with it.

I cut the blue paper to size and scored it half an inch from the left side, put score tape on this small strip and adhered it to the inside of my card, so that I can lift the paper to write and hide my message underneath the underwater scene. Now the fun began - I could start decorating ;o) I heat embossed the sentiment in white and added the three starfish, but made sure to have the yellow one sit on the frame to create another layer.

In order to figure out where exactly I could adhere all the other elements I temporarily adhered the inside of the window to the blue paper and added the critters to the outside of it. I also stamped the addition to the sentiment "I'm so jelly" under the jellyfish. I hope the recipient will be surprised of all that is going on on the inside of the card and love it as much as I do ;o) I am looking forward to seeing all your beautiful "multilayer" projects in our gallery ;o) Have a great week and see you soon,k yours Maike ;o)

Delightful card with the hidden inside images and sentiment, Maike, and so much fun! So good to see you playing along in our challenge at QKR Stampede. Hope to see you again soon and good luck in the draw. NanaConnie DT
